Page 27 of His Revenge
I blink.
“But how?And what was the horrible news?”I gasp.“Oh my god, she told you the horrible thing, and it caused you to settle.”
Brad thinks for a moment, his blue eyes giving nothing away.
“I know what the news is.Actually, I’m the one who told her the news.”
I stare.
“But what is it?”I practically shriek.“How did this happen?I’m so confused!”
Brad squeezes my hand again.
“The news is that you’re pregnant, sweetheart.By me.You’re going to have my baby soon.”
I stare at my him, my face going hot.
“What?”I whisper.“No, you’re wrong.You have to be.I mean, I haven’t gotten my period recently, but that’s because I had an IUD put in after we started dating.Women don’t always get a period when using hormonal contraception.”
Brad pauses for a moment before giving me a searching look.
“No, you didn’t get an IUD put in, sweetheart.I specifically asked Dr.Linneanotto put one in.You’re fertile and likely pregnant right now because you haven’t had a period in months.I should know, because I’ve been fucking you during this time.I would have noticed”
I blink at him, totally shocked.
“You told the doctorwhat?I’mwhat?”
Brad takes a deep breath, his handsome features somber.
“I wanted you pregnant, Minnie, and so I took things into my own hands.I know it’s wrong, but I think you’ll agree it’s for the greater good.I love you, Minnie, and I want us to be a family.I’m ready to propose, in fact,” he rasps, reaching into the pocket of his sweatpants and pulling out a blue velvet box.“I got this for you as a symbol of my commitment and adoration.”Then, he pops open the lid and inside is an enormous diamond ring, sparkling under the kitchen lights.Brad takes to one knee on the hard floor, gazing up at me, his masculine features serious.“Will you marry me, Minnie?I adore you more than life itself, and want to spend the rest of my years with you.”
I gasp, my mouth opening and closing without any sound.On the one hand, a handsome man is on bended knee, asking me to be his wife, and he’s incredibly gorgeous with his ripped torso, ruffled dark hair, and piercing blue eyes.But on the other, he just conspired to knock me up without my knowledge!What the hell!
“No, I willnotmarry you,” I manage through gritted teeth.“Not until you tell me everything.”
Brad sighs, but doesn’t look surprised.He gets back up and sits at the kitchen counter.
“No, I didn’t think you would accept,” he says in a soft voice.“But a man can dream, can’t he?”
I stare at him.
“What is going on?”I demand.“How could you conspire to knock me up?I’m going to call Dr.Linnea—”
He holds up one big hand.“Don’t blame Dr.Linnea.I’m the guarantor on her office lease, so she owes me.She lied to you because I gave her no choice.”
“But still!”I sputter, angry as a hornet.“I’m going to get her medical license revoked.”
Brad nods somberly.
“I know you’re pissed, but just hear me out,” he says.“It’s a somewhat long and complicated story, but I think you’ll agree that it ends well.”
“Please!”I practically scream in the kitchen.“Be my guest!Start talking!”
The billionaire sighs, his shoulders wilting a bit.
“You know that I’ve been locked in a nasty divorce with your mom for a while,” he says.“It was a bad situation.Both Joelle and I were hellbent on mutual destruction.”
“Yes,” I bite out.“What else is new?”
